Last Updated: 06/30/2022

Please read these Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy
carefully because they govern your use of the website located at www.epres.com (the “Site”), the ecommerce and social media services accessible via the Site offered by Epres LLC (“Epres,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and our affiliates, and any products you purchase through the Site (“Products”).

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND EPRES THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 19 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION. YOU AND EPRES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

1. Agreement to Terms. By using our Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Site. If you are accessing and using the Site on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that entity.

2. Privacy Policy. Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of the Site, for information on how we collect, use and share your information.

3. Changes to these Terms or the Site. We may update the Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we’ll let you know by posting the updated Terms on the Site and/or may also send other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the Site. If you continue to use the Site after we have posted updated Terms it means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you don’t agree to be bound by the changes, you may not use the Site anymore. Because our Site is evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Site, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

4. Who May Use the Site? You may use the Site only if you are 18 years or older and capable of forming a binding contract with Epres, and not otherwise barred from using the Site under applicable law.

5. Feedback. We appreciate feedback, comments, ideas, proposals and suggestions for improvements to the Site (“Feedback”). If you choose to submit Feedback, you agree that we are free to use it without any restriction or compensation to you.

6. User Accounts. For access to certain features of the Site or for the ability to purchase certain professional grade Products, you will need to create an account on the Site. It is important that you provide us with accurate, complete and current account information and keep this information up to date. If you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your account. To protect your account, keep the account details and password confidential, and notify us right away of any unauthorized use. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ACTIVITIES THAT OCCUR UNDER YOUR ACCOUNT.

7. Sale of Products.
(a) Prices for our Products are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue any Products, services or the Site (or any part or content thereof) without notice at any time. We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of any Products, services or the Site.

(b) We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our Products or services to any
person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We

All such terms and conditions will be deemed stricken and will be null and of no effect.

8. Shipment and Delivery.
(a) When an order is placed, it will be shipped to an address designated by you if that shipping
address is compliant with the shipping restrictions contained on the Site. All purchases from the Site are made pursuant to a shipment contract. As a result, risk of loss and title for items purchased from this website pass to you upon delivery of the items to the carrier. You are responsible for filing any claims with carriers for damaged and/or lost shipments.

(b) We will make reasonable efforts to meet the scheduled shipment dates, but in no event will
Epres be liable for any loss, damage, or penalty resulting from any delay in shipment or delivery, nor will the carrier be deemed an agent of Epres. We have the right to ship the Products in installments and separately invoice you for such installments. We have the right to allocate our available inventory of the Products among its buyers in such manner as it deems equitable. We have the right to delay or suspend shipment of the Products if you fail to make any payment as provided in these Terms or if you fail to meet our credit or financial requirements.

9. Payment, Cancellation, and Returns.
(a) Payment Information. You expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to
charge you for each transaction with Epres. We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When you initiate a transaction, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your transaction and to charge your payment method for the type of transaction you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information). By initiating a transaction, you agree to the pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to such fees and charges, as posted or otherwise communicated to you. All payments for transactions are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms. All fees and applicable taxes, if any, are payable in United States dollars.

(b) Cancellation and Returns. We reserve the right to cancel your transaction for any reason; if we
cancel your transaction, we will refund any payment you have already remitted to us for such
transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, you may cancel your transaction or request a refund of
payment if you are in any way not satisfied with your purchase of Products from the Site. We will
refund such payment (excluding any shipping charges) if we receive your request for refund within 30 days of the transaction date. As a part of our commitment to sustainability, we do not require you to return or ship back to us any Products associated with such cancelled transactions. Instead, we recommend that you to pass them along to a friend or otherwise dispose of them in an ecologically responsible manner.

communications with others), files, documents, graphics, images, music, software, audio and video. Anything (other than Feedback) that you post or otherwise make available through the Site is referred to as “User Content”.

18. Governing Law and Forum Choice. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 19 “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and Epres are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in the Santa Barbara County, and you and Epres each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

19. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes . We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Site (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Epres agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Epres are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

(b) Exceptions . As limited exceptions to Section 19.(a) above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.

(c) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules . The arbitration will be conducted by the JAMS pursuant to its rules then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules. All other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (collectively, the “JAMS Rules”). The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com (under the Rules/Clauses tab) or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by the JAMS rules, including JAMS’ Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to JAMS and give notice to the other party as specified in the JAMS Rules.

Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.

(d) Arbitration Costs . Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules, including JAMS’ Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards, as applicable, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

(e) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief . Except as provided in Section 19.(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.

(f) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND EPRES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.

(g) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 19.(f) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

20. General Terms.
(a) Reservation of Rights. Epres and its licensors exclusively own all right, title and interest in and to the Site, including all associated intellectual property rights. You acknowledge that the Site is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States and foreign countries. You agree not to remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the services provided on the Site.

(b) Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Epres and you regarding the Site, and these Terms supersede and replace all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Epres and you regarding the Site. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Epres’ prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Epres may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

(c) Notices.  Any notices or other communications provided by Epres under these Terms will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Site. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

(d) Waiver of Rights. Epres’ failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Epres. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

21. Contact Information. If you have any questions about these Terms or the Site, please contact Epres at info@epres.com .
